This document summarizes a presentation about networking and building connections. It discusses the birthday paradox, how we are often just one connection away from opportunities, and research showing the average number of strong relationships a person can maintain. It also provides tips for networking, including talking to people you don't know, finding common ground, and keeping in touch. The document advocates giving more than receiving from your network and that conversations should come before transactions.

Transform Dr Nicola Millard seminar: Net easy and the autonomous customerTransformUK
Dr Nicola Millard, Head of Insights and Future at BT, joined us to share new research into net easy and the autonomous customer. Due to be released mid May we were lucky enought to have a sneak preview and here's just a few of the headlines:
1. 88% said they'd be loyal if a company was easier to do business with
2. 75% expect a contact centre agent to be familiar with their full contact history
3. Service should be pushed forward, not hidden deep in your website because when a customer calls it's usually about a complex issue
4. Make bold choices about the channels you use to engage. There's no room for embarrassing Dad dancing on the social media dance floor.
5. Reduce the amount of effort your customers have to invest to do business with you.

Think of a project or problem you are working on right now where it would really help to be introduced to a specific person or organisation.
Introduce yourself briefly and share the name of who you are trying to reach and why they want the introduction.
Does anybody else know that person or organisation directly, or else might know how to reach them?
